Style It Pretty

In other news, it's official, I'm 37 today. Ouch, it hurt to type that. Just a little. I swear, I was just 26 yesterday and poof, somehow yesterday turned into eleven years ago. Impossible, but true. Still, I'll take all 37 years, I've got a lot to show for it. Most importantly and that for which I'm most thankful for, my amazing, kind, gentle, and thoughtful husband and my three beautiful, healthy boys. Life is good. And I am blessed. These are the kinds of gifts you keep your fingers crossed for, the stuff dreams are made of...yes, my reality is pretty darn perfect. Thanks to all my men, big and small, for the loveliest weekend of celebrating. I luvs you. Lots.

Oh, and one more item on the agenda, I just noticed that this is post #600. Wow! Thanks to all of you who visit. It always makes my day to read your comments. Always.

Signature Details

These striking interiors hail from the portfolio of Robert Stilin. I'm completely enamored with the neutral palette and the calm air about these spaces. Yet, although the use of color is restrained, what impresses me most is that the eye nevertheless has so many details to gaze upon. The rooms are deceptively simple, but I'm sure a great deal of forethought went into making them appear so. Obviously, design is in the details and I'm certain it took a great deal of effort to make these beautiful spaces appear so effortless.
